[20:54] You are on a long bus that is moving across an empty road that spans over a mountine near Shadow City in the Goin Region. Each of you is holding your pokemon eggs that you have just been given and are on your way to meet up with the gym leaders of Shadow City in order to get an introduction to the world of pokemon[20:55] "We will be getting there in about fifteen mins!" shouts the driver "How bought you lot get to know each other before then? The gym leaders like that"[20:55] "So, erm, what's everybody called?"[20:56] "Karm" i smile "Karm Thrice"[20:56] "I'm Lucas, nice to meet you." I extend a hand nervously.[20:58] "I'm Jayson" I smirk. "Most people call me Jay"[21:00] i accept his hand and shake firmly[21:01] Over the trees in the distance, you see a flock of bird pokemon rise into the air[21:01] "What were they, do you think?"[21:02] "Pidgey?"[21:02] I smile sinisterly to myself, before swiftly returning my face to a stoic image.[21:02] "Well, whatever it is, I want one."[21:02] "They look weak, Why would you want one"[21:03] "I'm sure they are easy to get" THe driver calls back "Carnt move for them in some placesn"[21:03] "Because they can fly."[21:03] "Also, cannon fodder."[21:03] "Huh likewise" i smile to Lucas " and they will most likely get stronger "[21:03] "Exactly. And even if not, they can see for miles up there."[21:04] "Yup" i smile[21:05] "Point. Flying cannon fodder could be useful."[21:05] "However strong they are...somthing has them startled..."[21:05] "Well, let's go check it out."[21:05] he points over to where another group has taken flight[21:05] "Hmm sommat stronger" and my eyes light up at the thought[21:05] "Not yet, idiot! No pokemon, remember?"[21:05] "Sorry guys but you can do that later...you dont even have pokemon yet"[21:06] "We've got these eggs, just give it a while."[21:06] "Repeating my point, smart."[21:06] "But we will soon"[21:07] "Yup" i beam and hug my Pokemon egg[21:07] Another flock takes flight....much closer[21:08] "Whatever's scaring them, it's getting closer. Can we drive faster?"[21:08] "Erm i second that"[21:08] "I think that would be best..."[21:08] "Relax, Its nothing i bet"[21:09] i look at him laughing " Yeah! Right!"[21:09] "Never say that! If you say that, it ALWAYS is something[21:09] !"[21:09] "True, just like in the movies."[21:09] You see a glimer of light from within the trees at the other end of the road[21:09] "Huh? whats that?"[21:09] "Well, when you put it that way, it sounds stupid, but that's how my... what on earth?"[21:10] "Ooh, shiny!"[21:10] "My Shiny!!!" i shout pressing my face against the window[21:10] "No, mine!"[21:10] The light begins to grow[21:10] "Erm i hope these eggs hatch soon" I say stuttering[21:10] "I think you kids had better...hold on!"[21:11] "Unless it's painful, cursed, on fire, or otherwise evil. Then yours."[21:11] Suddenly the entire bus heaves as the ground explodes next to it[21:11] "Shit! Ow!"[21:11] "Oh Fuck!" i shout falling from my seat[21:11] "What the fuck"[21:11] "Gutterdamnen!"[21:12] Another explosion sends you flying back up right as a couple of large shapes step out of the trees, fireing a beam of shimmering lights at you again[21:12] "Crap!"[21:13] "Oh, fuck my life!"[21:13] "What the hell is going on"[21:13] "Let's run, aye? Us, away. One of you, towards."[21:13] the man kicks open the door and shouts for you all to get out[21:14] "Run!!"[21:14] I grab my egg and make for the door. "You don't have to tell me twice!"[21:14] "Good plan, I hadn't thought of that."[21:14] i charge out the door cradling my egg[21:14] I sprint after them, egg shoved hastily in my pack.[21:15] I slip my egg into my backpack and hop out the door "Alright, Alright"[21:15] He points to a large rock nearby and orders for you to get behind it as the bus explodes from another pair of direct hits. its metal being reduced to twisted metal[21:15] I seem to think twice, before moving back to grab my pack and then leaving the bus.[21:16] "Well, shit."[21:16] "Keep down"[21:16] "This is great, Real smooth."[21:17] "Now, I may not be a qualified driver, but I do know one thing. That's not how you do it."[21:17] "Lovely great exercise!" i cheer[21:18] The burning bus is ripped apart as the two pokemon walk thorugh it, their bodies being shown to be made of pure rock as they move through the fire[21:18] *** Kite (Kite@sux-E63A87E8.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined[21:18] "What are they, I cant make them out"[21:18] "Oh, for... Well, I suggest we leave quickly."[21:19] "They aint no pokemon I have ever seen before"[21:19] *** Dorian sets channel #LegionRPG mode +v Kite[21:19] "Lets get into the trees!!" i shout[21:19] "Let's just run."[21:20] "We aint going nowhere...the Gym leaders will be getting her to give us support soon...and we wont make it to the trees"[21:20] "Yes, Let's"[21:20] "I agree with Lucas. He seems to be the smartest one here, bar me."[21:20] As if to prove the point, one of the rock pokemon fires its beam neaby, glimering lights tearing apart the ground in an explosion of dirt and light[21:21] "Let me revise my plan. That's stay here."[21:21] "Shit!" i shout as i am about to run were the beam struck[21:21] "Ok i will stay here with the driver, You guys can run"[21:22] I clench the straps on my backpack[21:22] you see that the ground has been torn apart as if hit by a thousand hard gems...some still gleaming out from the dirt[21:22] "Driver! you have any pokemon?!"[21:22] yer...but it wont do any good...its only a Chimchar"[21:23] "We're doomed. However, that's shiny."[21:23] "Damn" i mutter[21:23] "A Chi... Well, that's just fucking GREAT!"[21:24] "Bo..." The rock pokemon growl as they begin to advance towards the sound of shouting[21:24] "Erm everyone stop shouting i think we are pissing whatever it is off"[21:24] Pointing wildly towards the others, I yell "It's him you want!".[21:25] "Coward" i growl[21:25] They both growl loudly before rising on their three rock like legs and charging up another attack[21:25] "Charizard!!"[21:26] "Well, my opinion of him just went down. We ever meet him again, we beat him senseless and take his mone... Ok, Charizard? What?"[21:26] Suddenly, the whole of the field is engulfed in fire as a massive shape slams down into the ground nearby, vomiting a terribe amount of fire towards the two pokemon[21:26] "Oh god. Now run!"[21:26] "Holy!" i cry "Thats fucking awesome!!"[21:27] "Holy" I jump behind Lucas[21:27] a man jumps of its back and hurls to pokeballs into the air, unleashing a green pokemon and a large turtle like pokemon with cannons on its back[21:28] "Awesome! backup!"[21:28] He barks an order and the two pokemon jump to action, the turtle blasting a strong beam of water at htem whilst the grass type jump on one of their backs and blasting a bullet seed into its chest[21:28] "Backup? More like our freaking saviour!"[21:28] within seconds, both rock pokemon are no longer moving[21:29] "The power" I stare in amazement "Its, Beautiful"[21:29] "Hell Yeah!" i shout watching the fight[21:29] "Well, that saved our life."[21:29] "Indeed. Not dying is fun, isn't it?"[21:29] "Aww man your awesome!" i shgout to the guy[21:30] "Took your time" The bus driver calls out as the grass and water type pokemon are retunred to their pokeblass[21:30] pokeballs*[21:30] "I had to finish my dinner" THe man laughs as he turns to you, grinning "But i got here in time didnt I?"[21:32] "Well not fast enough!" I shout "We could of died"[21:32] "Did we?" i shout to him[21:32] The man says nothing as he pets his Charizard looking over to the two rock pokemon "I've never seen anything like them before..."[21:33] "Hmm...."[21:34] "Any chance of a lift?"[21:34] "How much ya paying?"[21:34] While asking, I root around on the ground for gems.[21:34] "One minute."[21:34] "Money? We don't ha... Oh."[21:34] as you pull them from the ground, they crumble to dust[21:35] "Awww, goddamn it!"[21:35] "Vira, you try?"[21:35] "Hahaha, Thats what you get for freeloading off pokemon"[21:35] Needless to say, the egg does not respond.[21:35] "Talking to your egg? You insane?"[21:36] "It might be a psychic type!"[21:36] The man is silent for a second before bursting into laughter[21:36] even the Charizard giggles slightly, causing a bought of flame to burst from its nose[21:36] "Ok, wow. I... honestly don't know what to say to that."[21:36] "What? It might be!"[21:37] "I....that might work!!"[21:37] "First signs of insanity!"[21:37] "And you expect it to be sentient at this age?"[21:37] "Maybe, I don't know how eggs work."[21:38] "Hmph."[21:38] "Well anyway" he laughs "You guys ready to go? I want to get out of here before anymore of those things get here...whatever they are"[21:39] "Yes, leaving would be smart."[21:39] "Yeah, let's go."[21:39] "Sure, I cant stand all this green"[21:39] "please"[21:40] The Charizard, bends down so that you can climb onto its back, leavin only Jayson with no room[21:40] "Oh come on this is unfair"[21:40] "Looks like you're riding claw-side."[21:40] "Although, This pokemon is, Pretty"[21:40] I laugh leaving me smiling afterwards[21:41] The Charizard gives a long grin to its trainer before grabbing your shoulders with its claws and hurling you into the air as it takes flight[21:41] "FUUUUCCCCKKK"[21:42] "SHEIZER!!!"[21:42] "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"[21:43] The man whispers somthing to the fire type pokemon and it does a barrel roll and a cartwheel in mid air[21:43] "HELL YEAH!!"[21:43] "WHOOOOO!"[21:44] "OH SHITTTTT"[21:44] "OH CRAP I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!"[21:44] "I FUCKING LOVE THIS!!"[21:45] "I KNOW, RIGHT?"[21:45] Finally, Charizard calms down and takes a calmer flight patten, flying towards Shadow City as the man laughs[21:45] "Fun huh?"[21:45] "Yup" i beam[21:45] "Hells yes. I need one of these."[21:45] "FUN!?!? WE NEARLY FUCKING DIED!!! PLEASE NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!"[21:45] "Eh i guess but you lot are safe"[21:46] "How you holding up down there!!" i shout to Jay![21:46] Chairzard looks over to Dorian with an amused grin[21:49] "Mein gott, you're smug, aren't you?"[21:50] "Char"[21:50] "Good, I guess" I shout back "BESIDES I'M JUST HANGING ON"[21:50] "How long until we land?"[21:51] "We are here now" THe man grins "Air-Charizard, fastest way to travil"[21:51] "Perfect!"[21:51] the pokemon gives a roar as it suddenly starts to plumet, heading down towards a gian building in the centre of Shadow City with a large yellow C painted on the roof[21:51] "I hope this is not the only way to travel"[21:52] "Very clever" i mutter[21:52] "I dunno, this is fun."[21:53] The landing is suprisingly gentle as the pokemon lands, lowering its wing so you can get off and the man leaping to his feet in a single swift movment...seconds within even landing[21:53] I clamer off, steadying myself on the roof.[21:53] "Allways fun Charizard" he grins, resting his hand on the pokemon[21:54] i slide off and pat the dragon[21:54] I climb off, and collapse, clawing at the ground whilst gasping for air. "WE. ARE. NEVER. DOING. THAT. AGAIN!"[21:55] The fire type seems to almost purr as he strokes it and lets go of jayson[21:55] "Again, again! That was fun!"[21:55] "Not enjoy that?" A girls asks as she walks up towards you from a door on the roof[21:55] "Thank you, Although i dont think im going to fly Charizard air anytime soon" I huff[21:55] "Hell yeah!"[21:56] "Yeah!"[21:57] "They did. I, however, will hopefully never do that again. Also, who are you?[21:57] "Mornin'" i smile at the girl[21:57] She laughs "I allways prefered my Pidgyotte...Charizard enjoys doing stunts too much"[21:58] "Erm, good morning."[21:58] "Yes, Hello" I check my bag to see if my egg is fine[21:59] "Ah!" I grab at my bag to make sure my egg is ok.[21:59] all of your eggs are fine, Charizard took great care in protecting them whilst flying[22:00] i gentily run my hand over the egg[22:00] "Yay, Vira! You're okay!"[22:00] "Not sure what's in my egg, But im sure it will be ok"[22:00] I sigh. "Thank god..."[22:01] "Ah yes! Eggs!" The man yells out "I forgot!"[22:01] "You allways forgett jack...I turned the hatcher on for you after you left"[22:01] "Presents?"[22:01] "Hatcher?"[22:02] "Thanks!" he grins again before turning to you "Now then...who wants to have their pokemon hatched?"[22:02] "Wait, what's going on? What's a 'Hatcher'?"[22:03] "Oh god, Are you going to smash our eggs? Sounds brutal"[22:03] "I....YES!"[22:03] "Oh please. Jack here is too soft to ever beat on an egg"[22:03] i turn to Jay and punch him on top of his head[22:03] "Me, please. I need something actually intelligent to talk to. Also, no poké-death, please, and as little trauma as possible."[22:03] "In a pokemon way or an omelette way?"[22:04] i punch lucas in the same way[22:04] "Pokemon way...though you can get omelette in the Gym food court"[22:04] "As long as im not eating it later, Go right ahead"[22:04] "Ow, bitch."[22:04] "Sweet, omelette!"[22:05] "Ooh, is there any Strogonoff?"[22:05] i sigh and walk over to Jack " Can you please take us?"[22:07] I run across the roof and ook down on the scene in front of me[22:07] "Char?" The charizard mutters as it looks up to you[22:07] "hmmm?" i look at were Charizard is looking[22:08] I jump down and land on the dragon's back much its annoyance.[22:08] "What?"[22:08] "Who is that"[22:08] "Pretty Brave, dont you think?"[22:08] "Indeed. Where did you spring from?"[22:08] Jack raises his eyebrown and exchanges a look with the woman as Charizard gives a growl at the intrusion before using its tail to flick you off[22:09] Flips in air and lands on feet[22:10] "Nice" i quip[22:12] "So, who are you?"[22:13] "My name is Felix, nice to meet you." I say in a somewhat girly voice.[22:13] "How come you're, erm, here?"[22:13] "Why do you care?"[22:14] "I care...."[22:14] "Ok so your another person, Ok lets get on with this egg hatching"[22:14] "Aye, let's go."[22:14] "This is Felix. hes starting on his own pokemon journey too"[22:14] "Oh good" i smile[22:14] "Indeed! To the hatcher!"[22:14] Gives a small bow to everyone then trips over feet.[22:14] "Let's just get on with this goddamned hatching, then!"[22:15] "Do you have to be so drematic Jack?"[22:15] "yes...yes I do"[22:15] "Onward to Jack's house!" i point waling forwards[22:15] "To the shiny machine thing!"[22:16] "... Good way to put it, but..."[22:16] "Whats is it with the shiny things lucas?"[22:16] Jack leads you all through the door and down a long corridoor. He then opens another door a couple of feet away and takes you to large machine built in the side[22:16] "I like shiny things."[22:16] "Woah..."[22:17] "Nice, guessing thats it!" as i run towards it[22:17] "I want to go first!"[22:17] "I'll go last."[22:18] "Yup its right...waaa!" Jack withdraws a hand as a long scythe flies down, revealing a large pokemon stood in the shadows beside the machine[22:18] "Well, then. I'll go as soon as that damn scythe thing buggers off!"[22:18] " Woah" i cry turning to the pokemon[22:19] "What the hell is that?"[22:19] "Arceus...Kabotops...you scared the hell out of me!"[22:20] "Cool a fosiil pokemon!"[22:20] "Awesome"[22:20] "Nice"[22:21] "Kabo" The pokemon growls before it seems to recognise Jack and nods, allowing him to the machine[22:21] "I want one! Now, machine time!"[22:21] "Yes, I couldn't've put it better myself."[22:21] I open my bag and hold the egg in my arms[22:21] Swinging my bag over my shoulder, I pull out my egg. "Now what?"[22:22] The kabotps holds out its scyth like arms for Dorian to hand it the egg[22:22] I get my egg out and hand it over very reluctantly. "Be careful, ok?"[22:22] "That thing is still scary...."[22:23] "Kabotops" It mutters as it takes the egg and drops it into the machine, tapping keys with the tips of its scyth in a suprisingly gentle way[22:23] "Aww, I wanted to go first."[22:24] The machine buzzes and the egg is consumed in white light before it opens again and a small pokemon drops out[22:24] "That's cute! I want one. What is it?"[22:24] I smile to myself, and start to move towards the pokémon.[22:25] "interesting..." jack mutters before holding out a small red item "Scan it with this[22:25] "My go my go my go!"[22:26] I take the object, and tap a few buttons on it. "Well, let's see what just happened, then."[22:26] The machine beeps a couple of times before a robotic female voice sounds out[22:26] Beldum, the Iron Ball Pokémon. Beldum floats by emitting magnetic waves from its body to repel the Earth's magnetic field. They launch their claws into cliffs where they sleep.[22:27] it then powers down[22:27] "A steel psychic type? That's so cool!"[22:27] "Beldum? Is that what this is, then?" I turn towards the pokemon.[22:27] "That's so cool!"[22:27] the Kabotops nods before reaching its claws out towards Lucas[22:27] "That thing looks cool, Why does it have one eye"[22:27] "Yay!"[22:28] I pick up the pokémon and, stroking it gently, move away from the hatcher.[22:28] again the machine buzzes and a small pokemon is revlead, then handed over to you along with another red machine to scan it[22:28] "Yeah! I got a... dog thing."[22:29] "Me next, I need to know what mine is"[22:29] "Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. When sad or scared, Riolu's aura becomes stronger as a way of signaling its allies"[22:29] I tap a few more buttons, then, satisfied with the blue colour scheme on the screen, begin scanning pretty muchy everything.[22:29] "I like this!"[22:30] Again, kabotops takes the egg and drops it into the machine. You are then handed the pokemon and a machine[22:30] "Not trying to sound stupid but what's aura?" I say while trying to poke the pokemon.[22:30] "Ask Mike" Saren grins "He has one of those too"[22:30] "Isn't it some psychic thing?"[22:30] I press some buttons, Scanning the pokemon[22:31] "Yeah, it's some psychic thing that living beings give off. It's pretty cool."[22:31] "Bagon, the Rock Head Pokémon. Bagon dreams of being able to fly through the air. When frustrated from not flying, Bagon uses its head to smash rocks into powder"[22:31] "Heh. A brute force pokemon. Nice."[22:31] "Sweet, Time to smash things"[22:31] another beep of light and Felix is given his pokemon and a machine[22:32] "Aww, that's kind of cute." I scan it as well, pleased by the photo album I'm beginning to collect.[22:32] I hug the small pokemon barely givinng it room to breathe.[22:32] "Eevee, the Evolution Pokémon. Eevee is a unique Pokémon that can adapt to its environment by changing its form and abilities when evolving"[22:32] "hmm"[22:33] "It's so cute!" I squeal while continuing to hug the eevee.[22:33] I hand over my egg to the Kubutops[22:33] "Mind if I bleep it?"[22:34] "you should all add each others pokemon" Jack grins. "Fill up your pokedex"[22:34] I stroke bagons little rock stripes on its head[22:34] "But I don't have one." I say while pouting childishly.[22:34] "Sensible point is sensible. Let's get on with it, then."[22:34] Kabotops hands you one before sinking back into the shadows[22:34] "Yay! Excuses to use the bleepy machine thing!" I rush around the room, scanning every pokemon there. And, in my excitement, Jack.[22:35] "Hey wait.." i put a hand to stop it[22:35] *** Dorian quit (Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com [22:35] the machine beeps as it scans Jack[22:35] "Mime Jr., the Mime Pokémon. It can quickly imitate anyone it sees. It can sense people's emotions as well, and when it senses danger it will erect a barrier, so it can escape"[22:36] "Can I name my pokemon!" I shout while jumping up and down.[22:36] "Hold up. You're not a pokemon, are you?"[22:36] "Huh?"[22:36] "I just waved the thing at you."[22:36] "of course you can" sarein smiles at Felix[22:37] "Mmmm, Kubutops?" i walk over to the pokemon "Can you hatch my egg?"[22:37] Jack simply stares at you before grunting in pain and spinning round to reveal a large bumb in the back of his coat[22:37] "Oh, I see."[22:37] Kabotops growls before removing the egg and placing it into the macine[22:37] "How do you tell if it's a boy or girl? It would be wierd to name it Jacob if it's a girl."[22:37] "That makes much more sense."[22:38] "Jr!" Jack yells "Thats where you got to!"

[22:54] You both enter the pokemon nursury with smiles as you hold your pokemon closely, lead by Sarien as she shows you around[22:55] I look around, startled by the various items there. "You like, Vira?"[22:55] "And here is the nusury" She grins "Here you can leave your pokemon as they grow a little"[22:56] I smile, whilst scanning every different pokémon there. "Nice. Hope you don't mind if I just keep my 'dex up to date, do you?"[22:56] "Ooh, me too!" I take out the pokedex, flicking through the various settings.[22:56] the pokedex beeps three times[22:57] "Bleep bleep bleep! Yay!"[22:57] [Togepi, the Spike Ball Pokémon. Togepi is filled with an energy that makes people happy. When treated well, Togepi shares this energy with others, but when it comes near a human with an impure heart this energy quickly disappears, leaving Togepi exhausted][22:58] [Starly, the Starling Pokémon. Starly normally travels in a flock, but when alone, it is hard to notice][22:58] [Shinx, the Flash Pokémon. When it senses danger, the hairs on its body light up and it runs away, leaving its opponent dazed][22:59] "Filling up nicly allready" Sarein grins[23:00] "Indeed. Gotta get as much info on what I might be fighting, no?"[23:01] "Wheres the fun in that? But I suppose"[23:02] "I just want to fill this thing. It's not nice all empty."[23:02] "Well, that too."[23:03] "Indeed, now then...lets get your pokemon check up" She smiles before looking around to tap a women on the shoulder, causing her to turn round to reveal she is in fact a humoid pokemon[23:03] "Mind checking out the newly hatched pokemon?"[23:04] the woman like pokemon nods before seeming to glide over towards you with its long skirt hovering just above the ground[23:04] I smile, and quickly scan the pokémon. "You don't mind, right?"[23:04] "Go ahead." I bleep the pokedex at the pokemon, smiling as I do.[23:05] [Gardevoir, the Embrace pokemon. Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole. This Pokémon will try to protect its Trainer even at the risk of its own life][23:06] "Garde..." The pokemon smiles as it holds its hand over your pokemon in turn before nodding and doing a curtsey[23:07] "Umm, thank you?"[23:07] "Good, there fine..." Sarein grins "Gardevior is able to tell if your pokemon are born ill at all and heal them right up...but it seems like there is no need"[23:08] "Good news, then!"[23:08] "Excellent!"[23:08] "Can she speak?"[23:08] "now...will you two be wanting to try them out in a battle? The great thing about the hatcher is that your pokemon are born strong enough"[23:09] "Gard" The pokemon smiles towards you over her shoulder, nodding before drifting away[23:09] "Oh, good god, yes. I've been waiting to see how Omega does in battle."[23:09] "Sure, can do."[23:09] "Thats the sprit!"[23:10] She leads you down a corridor until you reach a small version of the Gym's battle arena, where a couple of kids are sat talking[23:10] "Hey up! Its Sarein...and she has fresh meat!" One of them grins[23:10] "Who're we battling?"[23:11] "I aint doing nothing" A boy beside you says "You dudes wanna fight me?"[23:12] "Sure, why not?"[23:12] "Sweet!"[23:12] "Heh. Got nothing else to do."[23:13] Sarein nods before turning and leaving with a smile "I'm off to find Jack them...he owes me a drink. Be gentle with them Joe"[23:13] "Ah you know me miss..."[23:13] the boy moves towards the arena and gestures for you to stand on the other side[23:14] Shrugging, I take my place and set Vira down.[23:15] Vira jumps up and down, obviously excited.[23:15] "A Riolu? awsome! Want to test one of them out before i take on the Gym Leaders Riolu"[23:15] I wander over and take out a pokéball, releasing Omega from it.[23:16] "And a Beldum...this will be fun" He grins as he throws two pokeballs into the air, releasing two of the same pokemon into the arena[23:16] Omega merely hovers in place, somehow looking rather smug.[23:16] I quickly scan the pokemon, smiling to myself.[23:16] The two orange lizard pokemon look aronud before slamming their burning tails against the ground[23:17] [Charmander. A flame burns on the tip of its tail from birth. It is said that a Charmander dies if its flame ever goes out][23:17] I scan the pokemon also, giggling slightly at the noise.[23:17] "Char!"[23:17] "Mandar!"[23:18] The two pokemon call out as they stamp from side to side, readying for the battle[23:18] Riolu stops jumping, adopting a fighting stance.[23:18] Omega turns, leveling it's eye at the Charmanders.[23:20] "You can both go first" He grins smugly[23:22] Riolu narrows his eyes, focusing on his opponents.[23:24] "Omega, hit and run tactics, keep high."[23:27] "Use Foresight!"[23:30] "Blaze, Ember! Burn, scratch!"[23:32] Blaze gives a loud cheer as it jumps into the air and spits a group of tiny flames towards omega[23:38] Omega beeps a loud growl as the flames hit hard, causing it to loose its flight pattern for a second before regaining it[23:40] Burn gives a low growl as it runs fowrad, swinging its claws low at Vira[23:42] Vira gives a snarl as the scratch cuts into her cheek, causing her to stumbule back and a faint trickle of blood to flow down from her cut[23:47] Omega beeps, and swings at Blaze, making it's hit. As it does so, it's beep cuts off and it falls unconcious. However, merely seconds later, Blaze, too, falls unconcious.[23:48] "Blaze!" Joe cries out before holding up his pokeball and withdrawing it "Newly hatched pokemon and your allready using suicide tactics?"[23:50] "Hey, I didn't use a fire type move on a newly hatched steel type, thank you very much!"[23:50] The boy stops for a second before laughing "Fair does then mate...keeps you on your toe though dont it?"[23:51] "Now then...Shall we?" he grins thowards Vira[23:51] "Of course! Vira, get ready!"[23:52] "Burn! Use Scratch again!"[23:54] Burn nods with a glance towards where Blaze had fallen before running towards Vira, claws out[23:56] Vira runs towards Burn, leaping halfway and kicking him after landing. Or at least, that was the plan. She misses, falling to the floor.[23:57] Burn pauses, surprised by the failed attack before striking down[00:00] "Gardevoir!"[00:01] Brun pauses as it looks up to see the pokemon burst in, stopping the fight

[22:04] You have all met up outside of the pokecentre in the Gym, Lucas holding his now healed pokemon tightly[22:04] "Are you okay, Vira? I've got a little hint for next time. Don't miss."[22:06] "Alright Duke" i say clenching my fist "We have gotta catch up to these guys"[22:06] "might help" Joe grins beside you[22:06] "Watch it, you got lucky this time."[22:07] *** Kite (Twilight-@sux-E63A87E8.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined[22:07] "lucky is our middle name"[22:08] "Fair enough then. Still, rematch soon?"[22:08] "You share a middle name?"[22:09] "Hey!! i wanna have a battle!"[22:09] "my pokemon are my family...its sort of the policy this gym teaches"[22:09] I poke bagon in the side of his head "You look so cool but also very strange" I smile[22:11] "Hey guys, how's it going?" Felix says while walking up to the others, eevee in hand.[22:11] "Pretty good, yourself?"[22:11] "Its great" I continue to lightly poke bagons head[22:12] "Guess what! I named my eevee!"[22:12] "you might want to stop that" A voice says behind you "Baragon arnt known for their liking of being poked"[22:12] "Yeah? What's it called?"[22:13] I stop pokeing bagon and spin around to face the voice[22:14] "I name Growlithe *Duke* "[22:14] Jack smiled at you as he walks up, Jr sat upon his shoulder[22:14] "Whats up?"[22:15] "Just got my ass kicked. Want a rematch, there anything I can fight?"[22:15] "well your pokemon have only been hatched for about an hour. who did you fight?"[22:16] "Wanting to loose so quickly lucas"[22:16] "Some kid in the gym."[22:17] "He is right next to you..."[22:17] "It was me!" joe cherps up "I trained Blaze and Burn just like you said to!"[22:17] i mutter[22:17] "Oh really? Told ya it would work"[22:17] "I forgot you were there. Why are you there?" I turn and bleep him the the pokedex.[22:18] "Errr...i aint a pokemon you know"[22:19] "You get Weirder you know that?"[22:19] "I don't care. It makes a nice noise, and you might be a shapeshifter."[22:19] "Ha" I slap lucas on the back "He is just playing around"[22:20] "Nah, shapeshifters, man. They're everywhere."[22:21] "he's right" jack says "I recently fought a Ditto that took the fourm of a human"[22:21] "Wow, Dark you're a shapeshifter?"[22:21] i sigh " Any one around here that wants to fight me?"[22:22] "I knew it!" I bleep Jack as well, out of suspicion.[22:22] There is nothing as Jr simply looks at you in confusion[22:22] "Eh, worth a try."[22:23] "So...you want another fight?" jack asks[22:23] "I will!" i jump in front of Lucas[22:23] "Yep, I think we all do."[22:23] "I'm in!" Felix says while smiling happily.[22:24] "I would love to see how bagon fairs out"[22:24] "Ok, calm down then. I'm going to run a newly hatched pokemon torniment if your interested in that. Joe here has allready signed up"[22:24] "Yeah, can do."[22:24] "Torniment?! i am in!"[22:25] "I don't know if I want to enter. I mean our pokemon can get hurt..."[22:25] "Great. Follow me then" he smiles before leading you towards the nursery again[22:25] "Oh and Gardevoir is one of the best healiers i know, she will look after your pokemon"[22:26] "Okay then I guess I'll join..."[22:26] "Great" i grin " First battle is big un"[22:27] "Yay! Battling! And hopefully not dying! And possibly cake!"[22:27] When you arrive you find a group of trainers gathered around a computer screen, entering their names for the torny[22:28] Felix does not respond and hugs his eevee closer.[22:28] "Ha, They dont look so tough, no big surpise"[22:28] "We can take 'em" i cheer[22:29] "Never unerestimate your opponent. One wrong move and it can be game over."[22:29] "Just enter your names into that" Jack says before walking over to where Sarein is speaking to a pokemon that looks like a women in a long dress[22:29] "Eh, we'll just gank them as they leave the building" I mutter to Felix.[22:29] "Hells yes buttons." I enter my name quickly.[22:29] " that pokemon......is pretty cute...what is it?"[22:30] Enters name into the computer relunctantly.[22:31] I enter my name with a grin on my face[22:31] I put bagon on my shoulder then enter my name[22:31] As soon as everyone is done, the computer shuts off nd flashes the names for the first match[22:32] *Growlithe runs around Sarein's feet barking before running to me and wagging its tail*[22:32] [Lucas Vs Henry. please take your places][22:33] Sarein giggles slightly as she reaches down a tickles the pokemon under the chin[22:33] "Hells yes." I stand, wander around idly for a few seconds before finding my way to where I'm supposed to be.[22:34] those gathered take their seats to watch and Jack, Jr, Sarein and a second small pokemon that seems to attach itself to Jr take the judges seat[22:35] "I wonder if he'll be okay..."[22:35] "Vira, just remember. Don't cock it up like you did last time."[22:35] henry smiles at you before throwing a pokeball into the air and releasing a small pokemon "Star! lets get this done!"[22:35] "Vira, generic enthusiastic shouting!"[22:36] "Star!" The small bird pokemon yells as it flaps it wings[22:36] Vira says nothing, but settles into a fighting stance.[22:38] i pull out my pokedex and scan the flying pokemon[22:38] Felix scans the bird pokemon.[22:38] I pull out mine, giggling slightly at the noise, then yelling to Vira "Wait for it to move. Then kick it's head in."[22:38] [Starly, the Starling Pokémon. Starly normally travels in a flock, but when alone, it is hard to notice][22:39] I pull my pokedex out and do the same[22:39] "Ha flying"[22:39] "You hear that? It's weak to having its head kicked in, so do that."[22:40] "Star! use your flight to your advantage! Quick Attack!"[22:41] "Vira, I'm gonna assume you'd gathered that, but Quick Attack!"[22:42] Vira jumps into the air and seems to appear right above the flying Starly, swinging her fists downwards[22:44] The punches impact on Starly's head, making it cry in pain.[22:45] The Starly falls to the ground for a second before flying back into the air and slamming its wing against Vira[22:46] *** Twi (Twilight-@sux-E63A87E8.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined[22:47] The wing slams against Vira's head, sending her crashing to the ground with a loud thud[22:49] "Vira is unable to battle!" jack called out "Star wins!"[22:49] *** Kite quit (Ping timeout)[22:49] *** Twi changed nick to Kite[22:50] "I'm next" i mutter crouching and rubbing behind Duke's ear[22:50] [Next round- Karm vs Joe][22:51] "Hmm lets get 'em Duke"[22:51] i walk onto the arena floor[22:52] a pokeball is thrown by Joe and a Charmander appears in the room[22:52] "Go get 'em"[22:53] "Charmander!" The pokemon grins, swinging its tail aronud[22:53] Duke runs forward and baring his fangs and roaring[22:54] "Use Bite!" i cry[22:54] "Blaze! use scratch!"[22:54] Blaze growls as it runs forward, claws held up high[23:02] as the claws hit Duke he whines as he pushed to the ground, and then leaps at Blaze[23:06] Blaze yelps as it swings to the side, leaving Duke to shoot right past it[23:07] "wow...that was lucky" joe mutters[23:07] "Ok Blaze, use growl!"[23:08] "Char!" The pokemon snarls as it barks out a loud growl towards you[23:10] Duke looks at Blaze almost raising its eyebrow before shaking its head and charging at Blaze while i shout "Use bite again!!"[23:10] "Char..."[23:14] Blaze cries out as Duke's jaw snaps around its arm, baning its tail against the growlith's head until it lets go[23:18] "Allright! Bring the pain blaze! Scratch again!"[23:18] "Char!"[23:21] The scratch slices across Duke's face, leaving a trail of blood but nothing more[23:21] *** Twi (Twilight-@sux-E63A87E8.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined[23:21] *** Kite quit (Ping timeout)[23:21] *** Twi changed nick to Kite[23:22] Duke Growls feircely and jumps on the Lizard once more[23:23] Again the bite clamps of Blaze's arm, but its swated away again, the charmander looking weaker but still snarling fiercly[23:28] "Bite!"[23:31] Duke flinches from the attack and is thrown aside, sliding across the ground[23:31] "Charmander!"[23:31] "Scrathch that thing till it stops moving!"[23:37] again the scratch digs deep but misses anything vital[23:38] Duke shakes himself off from the ground and Karm screams "Finish it with Bite!"[23:41] the Charmander slumps to its knees, growling weekly as it raises its claws one last time[23:42] The claws stab into Duke's leg before blaze simply falls to the ground[23:43] "You have one chance to call Blaze back mate" i shout to the lad[23:43] Joe is silent for a second before raising his pokeball and withdrawing the Charmander "You win..."[23:43] "Blaze is unable to battle!" jack calls "Duke wins!"[23:44] I nod and call Duke back " Good bo" i smile and drop to one knee[23:44] [next up- Jayson Vs Sera][23:44] "That was a close fight. I wonder if I'll even be able to win..." Felix says to Anna while clapping adsent mindedly.[23:45] I stride over towards my side of the field[23:45] "You ready for me?" Sear grins to you[23:45] i walk back to the sides with everyone else[23:46] "Ready as ever" i smile back[23:47] Bagon hops off my shoulder into place[23:47] She simles before throwing a pokeball into the air, releasing a small pokemon that growls towards you through a massive smile[23:47] i pul out my pokedex and scan it[23:47] I pull out my pokedex and scan it[23:48] "What is that?" Felix says before scanning it.[23:48] [Shinx, the Flash Pokémon. When it senses danger, the hairs on its body light up and it runs away, leaving its opponent dazed][23:51] "Your move"[23:51] "Alright Lets get this started, Bagon Use Rage!"[23:51] "Spark! Leer!"[23:52] Spark lower's its face with a growl and fixes you with harsh eyes[23:56] Bagon leaps towards spark headfirst[23:57] Caught on nerve by Spark's Leer, Spark finds it easy to side step that attack

Well, that was cool. Sorry I wasn't there, but I do stuff on a tuesday. I did try to join at one point, but I'd just hit the connect thing when I had to go sleep. God damn, but my mother is annoying some times.

Hmm, point taken. Now, I know this will sound insane, and believe me, it may be, but wouldn't it all be rectified if we simply use GURPS and stat the pokémon ourselves? Before anyone slaps me, or calls me insane, or says that it's too much work, remember. GURPS works, and there are a good 6+ people on this site who know how GURPS works, 4 or 5 of them are in this campaign, and of those, at least one of them has mastered the art of statting unoriginal things (our glorious leader, for your information). So, opinions?

Thank you! I don't like the come across as always saying this, but GURPS really can do anything. They're covered pretty much everything between various sourcebooks, and a little consultation with Dorian or me can give you anything you can't find, occasionally with page references.

And yes, possibly the most obscure things I've statted was a zombie virus and the concept of hope. My god, concepts are tricky to stat.

3.5 could also work to an extent - a few custom classes, and then some work on custom monsters.

Well. 3.5. I hadn't thought of that. Now, when I first started my horrible, horrible munchkinning, the first thing I did in 3.5 was, in rules, design a magic item that worked exactly like a pokéball does. My original plan was for a campaign based around capturing monsters, then using them in mock-up wars to win a championship. You want I should dig up the stats for that item?

Oh, wait. Just had another looksie at the PTA rulebook, and the average stage 1 pokémon averages out as having flatline stats of 5 at level 1, making the average HP at level 5 around 21 (3XLevel + HP), and the average damage (2d10+5.5)-applicable defense (around 5.5), or 11. Also, have you guys been using the evasion modifiers (add (applicable def/5 + speed/10) to the opponent's move's accuracy) rules? If not, attacks will be hitting a lot more that they should be. However, if that still seems broken as all high holy fuck, then I'll get searching. If not, then, well, whatever.

Yeah, what we're doing wrong is this: Getting the goddamn glass cannon pokémon. I mean seriously, is my goddamn Beldum gonna be the tank of the group, or something, with it's fecking suicide attack? Well, this just proves one thing: That I need to find a moves tutor, and fast!
